CSN Stores Giveaway!

I know how all of you love giveaways! Well, I have been given another opportunity to give one of my lucky readers a $40.00 gift card to CSN stores.  If you have never been to CSN stores site than you should really go check them out.  I have been wanting to re-do my home office for quite some time now. I love the home office furniture selection that CSN stores offers!  Here are a few of my favorite pieces from CSN.

Isn't this office chair to die for?  I love how elegant and curvy this desk is! I could see myself spending hours here. I would probably do more day dreaming than working though.  :)

I think this desk would be very functional for a home office. The shelving alone would help with getting my stuff organized. I like how it doesn't take up a huge amount of space in the room. 

I would love to have this book case with filing cabinet drawers for all of my crafts. I have a lot of scrap booking paper and I could use something like this to keep it all organized. 

I am going to make this giveaway simple for all of my bloggy friends.

All that I ask of you is that you leave an entry on this post telling me how you would spend your $40 gift card.  If you would like to become a follower that would be great but it isn't necessary. So, all you need to do is leave your 1 comment on how you would spend the gift card.  Good luck to all of you!

Rules For The Giveaway:  This contest is open to US and Canadian readers. If you choose to purchase an item that does not have free shipping, you will be responsible for shipping costs. If you are in Canada, there may be Canadian fees that you will be responsible for. You must be 18 to enter.

The giveaway will end Monday, March 7th 2011.  I will pick the winner by using a random number generator. The winner will then receive an e-mail from me and will have 48 hours to reply before a new winner is chosen. Thanks for stopping by and taking advantage of this great giveaway.  I look forward to hearing about how you would spend the $40 giveaway!  

Nursery Inspiration

I am sorry it has taken me this long to blog.  I almost forgot how to login to blogger. I had become a little obsessed with the blogging and I have had to just let myself walk away from it.  We all know how long it can take to write a blog and it was just consuming too much of my time.  I probably won't be blogging as much as I would like, especially since I will will be taking on a new role as a mother.  I want to thank all of you who continue to read this blog and I am still surprised when I see I a new follower.


I wanted to leave you with some nursery inspiration pictures.  All photos are courtesy of Project Nursery

As you can see I am loving the gray walls with all the splashes of color. I am using a gender neutral theme.  We had an ultrasound a few weeks ago and since my baby is already stubborn or very modest we were not able to find out the sex. I was not disappointed at all though because I got to see our baby and he/she is healthy.

I love this little bird house! What a cute idea?

Check out the moose heads!

I want this elephant hamper!

 
I still have a lot of work ahead of me, but I have already bought the paint. It is an actual Crayola crayon color called Timber Wolf and is made by Dutch Boy . I have been collecting little things to put around the nursery and I am ready to start pulling everything together.

Merry Christmas from my family to your family!

First of all I just want to say THANK YOU for all of your sweet comments on my new arrival in May! Blog friends really are the bestest!  I am feeling so much better and am really starting to feel like my normal self. I am almost 19 weeks along and we will be having our first ultrasound in about three weeks.  We have decided that we are going to find out what we are having.  I just can't wait until May! I promise to keep you updated with nursery pictures and my growing bump.

I also wanted to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year!  I leave you with a picture of Clark Griswold (the smile on his face says it all).

Special Announcement to Make

Hello my dear blog friends, it has been forever since I have written any posts. Well, I think it is only fair that I share my news with all of you. I am expecting my first child this coming May. My husband and I are very excited and still in complete shock that we are going to be parents.  I am just about through the first tri-mester and am starting to feel somewhat normal again.  I have had morning sickness (no pukes just queasiness) and have been extremely tired.  This morning I woke up and felt the best that I have in 3 months. I had my first Dr.'s appt. last week and was able to hear the heartbeat (so awesome). The heartbeat was 160 which I have heard a fast heartbeat usually means a girl, but I am not sure if I believe all of those old wives tales.  I would be happy with either a little boy or girl.  I am just so happy to be almost done with the first tri-mester.  I am probably going to be needing some advice from all of you mommies out there because I have no idea what to expect!  Please stay tuned for upcoming projects including the nursery. :)

Feeling a Little Overwhelmed

Thank you to all of my new followers and for all of your lovely comments.  I have been MIA lately because I have been feeling overwhelmed. I apologize for my lack of posts and projects but sometimes I just need to take a break from it all.  I am hoping that I can get some projects posted soon but I need to find some balance and just needed a little break.  I love you all dear blog friends and I hope you will continue to read this blog.  I will be back soon!

Gotta Love CSN Stores!

I just love CSN stores!  CSN has given this little ol' blog some great opportunities to give a few of my readers a $40 gift card.  They have just about everything that you can imagine such as cookware, bedroom furniture and dining sets.   Here are a few things that I would love to have from CSN stores.

This mobile kitchen cart would be perfect to bring out for family gatherings and the best part is that you can wheel it anywhere.

Ok, I am a kid at heart! I would love to have this cotton candy machine. It would be perfect for my nieces and nephews birthday parties.

These chair slip covers would be really great to dress up a boring chair.

CSN stores has anything and everything you could ever want!
